Or, the most straightforward way would be to wait for 39 Beta (the freeze
ends by the Beta release) , and do a normal package bump to 9.4 in the f39
branch. You wouldn't need any exception or patch cherry pick for this.

This change in the -v option has been reverted in 9.4 (released
2023-08-29).  From [1]:

** Changes in behavior

    'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will no longer output a message for each file
skipped
    due to -i, or -u.  Instead they only output this information with
--debug.
    I.e., 'cp -u -v' etc. will have the same verbosity as before
coreutils-9.3.

If it's too late to get 9.4 into 39, is it possible to locally include
this specific reverting patch?

I personally agree that this is enough of a change to warrant
consideration for Fedora 39, but I want Fedora QA to weigh in.  At this
point we have beta and final blockers and you can use this form to
propose one:

If you want some help filing this proposal or the process, I am happy to
answer questions here or in chat.  I am dcantrell on IRC and in Matrix chat.


well, the question is not so much how useful is *this* change, but what
*other* changes does coreutils 9.4 introduce. During Beta freeze, it
would be much safer to just backport this specific change.


Agreed.  Recent coreutils releases have done a number of changes similar 
to this and it is not unreasonable to assume 9.4 might have more of 
those as well.  Just taking in this patch makes sense as it restores 
longstanding behavior that users were relying on.



This is clearly not a Beta blocker, but you can propose it as a Beta
FE...


I was on the fence with this classification.  My view is breaking 
longstanding behavior like this in very common commands in a minor 
version update for the software seems like it would lead to a lot of bug 
reports.  But maybe that's just me.  Whatever the appropriate 
classification is for this request is fine with me.

As per Adam's input I've created [1] and suggested to backport the
specific patch as a freeze exception.

OK I have filed a BZ [1] and a freeze exception request against it,
hopefully I've done it correctly.

BTW it would be good to push as many coreutils patches to upstream.
Especially the selinux patch.

Can we squeeze coreutils-9.4 into Fedora 39?

2023-08-29 Thread Ian Laurie

coreutils-9.3 brought changes to the behavior of the -v option which
broke some of my automation scripts.

Because of this I have been blocking updates to coreutils in Rawhide and
Fedora 39. and I'm running coreutils-9.2-4.fc39.x86_64.

This change in the -v option has been reverted in 9.4 (released
2023-08-29).  From [1]:

** Changes in behavior

  'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will no longer output a message for each file skipped
  due to -i, or -u.  Instead they only output this information with
--debug.
  I.e., 'cp -u -v' etc. will have the same verbosity as before
coreutils-9.3.

If it's too late to get 9.4 into 39, is it possible to locally include
this specific reverting patch?
